What kind of shape is your asphalt driveway in? Over time, the binders in the pavement can degrade, resulting in loose aggregates and a gray appearance. Fortunately, seal coating can be done to breathe life back into your roadway.

Why You Should Seal Coat Your Driveway Now

Improve Appearance & Safety

In addition to protecting the structural integrity of your driveway, seal coating your pavement will improve the appearance and safety of the area. Seal coating provides a streamlined, black appearance, creating a contrast between your driveway and your home. The black background also makes it easier for road paint to stand out, helping people to abide by traffic guidelines and stay safe.

Protect Your Driveway 

Winter weather is especially hard on asphalt. As the weather rages on, melting snow, road salt, and grime can seep through microscopic cracks in the pavement, expand, and create large cracks in the asphalt. Eventually, dangerous road obstacles such as potholes will form. However, seal coating creates a strong barrier between your driveway and the winter weather, extending its life span.

Avoid the Cold Weather

An important reason to contact a pavement contractor now is that seal coating can’t be done in winter weather. In addition to making it hard to apply a smooth, contiguous layer of sealant to the surface of your driveway, cold, wet weather can also compromise the chemistry of the seal coating, making it brittle and unstable.
